Henry's sacrifice

[G. Host]

Travis Henry took painkiller shots for his torn rib cartilage before the game Sunday. I had that injury once. Every time you turn a certain way it feels like a stab of fire. And it leaves a kind of misshapen lump, which you can point to years later, as a reminder. That's the sacrifice Henry made to fortify a running game that beat the Bengals in the second half. In the first half Drew Bledsoe was 5 for 17, and seven possessions resulted in six three - and - outs. Without Henry, the Bills don't have a running game, unless you count their No.1 draft, Willis McGahee ... oh, pardon me, I forgot. That's for next year.

Travis is a warrior.

without Travis on the field last week we lose.

Travis is an inspiration to his teamates and Bills fans everywhere. No one should ever again question his heart.

That’s what pro athletes do, they play in pain and take stuff to deaden that pain. To call him an inspiration for taking the needle is a bit dramatic.

You may be missing the entire point here. He's not an ispiration for taking the needle, he's an inspiration because he put his team ahead of himself and played in excrutiating pain for 4 quarters when someone like you would be in street clothes.

Travis did his job. Football is a game of pain, and these men get paid alot of money to fight through injuries. Would i want to play w/ a broke rib, hell no, and i do commend Travis for his effort, but this should not be confused with the man was just doing his job. He's probably going to shot up again this week, b/c we need him again this week to bail us out, now that Moulds is down for who knows how long.

Unfortunately, many modern athletes do not play with the type of injury that Travis has. And I didn't call him an inspiration for taking an injection. Playing with torn rib cartelage takes an extreme amount of dedication, something which you obviously don't understand.

I was in street cloths but then again I’m not a pro athlete who’s job it is to play Sundays.

Players all over the NFL play hurt every game, it’s the nature of the beast.

Clinton Portis doesn't.

There are differences between players. Some players will play with more pain than others. Henry is not unique, but he is more willing than some to pay the price to help his team win. Kudos, TH!

not only play in pain.. but play damn well in pain.
